In the past some 3 inistakes have been made in trying to grow erops on land wholly unsuited and fntended by nature for oranges. For the old timer is ready to acknowl #dge that the best land on which to gro oranges, lemons, grape frult—citrus fruits fhey are called—is the foothills of the mountaln ranges surrounding the vailey east of Los Angeles. Since the frosts of (he last winter these lands are referred to as #he “‘frostbitten belts.”” The best results are I obtained on land at an elevation of from | 200 to 3,000 feet.

You can's raise alfaifa on orange ground nor can ¥ou grow oranges In an alfalfa district.

Even good land is of little account unless an abundance of water for {rrigation 18 provided. Nothing can be done in fruit culture in southern California without water. In making a purchase it is just as fmportant to satisfy yourself on water eupply as on the title. The orange groves look very beautiful, with the deep green leaves, ripe oranges hanging on the treex and the blessoms of the next crop breaking forth in all their glory. It is said, and T think it true, that a gosd grove of five acres will satisf: the worldly needs of a good sized family. Y certainly have never met a happler or ' more contented people than the owners of these oran groves. The growth of the orange and lemon industry is wonderful. People had to learn how to sueccessfully develop profitable orchards and through the mistakes of the past a great industry is now In successful operation. And It has all been sccomplished in the lifetime of one generation. Ten years ago the total shipments of southern Calitornia had Teached 16,000 cars. Last vear they shipped 20,000 cars. People are eating more oranges than ever before and prices are well main- tained. The value of the shipments about $19,000,000 per yea: Typea of Oranges.

The result Is that water rates have been materially reduced, and do not cost one-third of the former rate, and the water board has not only replaced more than three-fourths of the old pipe lines, but has a nice sinking fund besides—all from surpius re- celpts.

In 1816 the editor of Nile's| Reglster made a detalled estimate of what s to the He really little to go on, and he declined but ie came within less than 2,000 of the census figures He said he had for years supposed that the census of 1820 would show a population of about 10,000,000. His guess was a trifle over 9964000 and the actual enumeration was a trifle over 9,638,000. In some details his guess was astonishingly near. He gave an estimate for every state and territory, and for New England, Mary- land and Ohfo he was only about 8,300 out. | In several of these states he was within a few hundreds of the actual figures, and in none was he more than about 10,000 out. Heo was within four of the actual census figures in North Carolina. It was malinly in the newer states that he guessed too nigh. The Boston Recorder tried its hand at census guessing in 1816 with Interesting re- | sults. The editor took little or no account | of immigration which was then trifling but he figured out from the census of 1790, | 1800 and 1810 that population doubled e\er,\" twenty-three years. As there seemed nlenl\" of room for expansion and race suicide had not th:n been heard of he concluded that the increase would go on at that rate for | at least a century Upon this theory he estimated the popu- lation for every twenty-three years up to| 1925, He had before him figures of the eensus of 1810, which showed about 7,240,000 inhabltants. He placed the population of 1633 at 14,000,000, of 1866 at 25,000,000, of 1579 at 59,000,000, of 1902 at 112,000,000 and of 1925 at 22400000, He must have been very close to the actual figures in 1833, for the census of 1830 gave nearly 13,000,000 people. He was not far off in 185, for the census of 1850 showed nearly 23,200,000 inhabitants and that of 1880 rather more than 5,400,000, but he was fully 600,000 too high in 1879 and more than 27,000,000 too high in 192, even if the colonies, of which he had no inkling, be taken into account. His esti- mate for 192% seems likely at the current ate of increase in this country to be con- siderably more than 100,000,000 too high. The sourge of his error lay in the de- clining birth rate, which:he &id not fore- see. When he made his estimate the death | rate had been steadily decreasing since | 178, when it was 25 per 1,00. By 1820 it/ had sunk to a shade over 20% per 1,000. The losses of the elvil war also helped to | throw out his calculations and the huge | | increase of immigration, of which he had | no thought, was not sufficlent to make up | for the checks to population left out of | account | There was much Interest the couniry over in the results of the census of 1520, when the population surprised all but lhuxe} who had studied earller statistics.

The statisticlan knew that the birthrate as yet showed no sign of falllng off and that the death rate was rather rapldly de- creasing, while there was a vast unoccupled territory open to settlers, though Texas and the region beyond the Rocklies were | suill in the hands of strangers and the fate of the Oregon country was uncertain.

Said she ““The presence of many women at equal suffrage meetings indl cates merely among other things that the present economic conditions have net been favorable to matrimony among thinking educated women fairly well equipped to earn their own living Fortunately o unfortunately accord- ing to one's point of view, economic ques- tions interfere very little if at all with the matrimonial plans of the uneducated, the non-thinking class. Nowadays a woman with a good working knowledge of arith- metic and mind enough to use it Is apt to do some figuring before undertaking to stretch a small income to cover rent, food and clothes bllls for two persons, and the result of her figuring, If she Is ambitious, is llkely to keep her out of matrimony “S8he may be romantic without altogether forgetting the fact that landlords and mer- chants usually do business on a cash basis. This is true, at least, of the New York women of this class. In rural places it may be different. “'‘Old-fashioned +persons often have an ex asperating way of telling about the small incomes on which our grandmothers man- aged to bring up a large family, forgetting that relatively these incomes were larger than the incomes women of the same soclal class have today. “With rents and food prices continuing to rise of course the number of bachelor women is increasing fast, and It is women of the sort I have in mind rather than men who are the least inclined these days to hazard matrimony what they con wider a too small income Concerning the relative size of the in- comes of a couple of generations ago and those of today the business man referred to thought that the suffragist had stated the case correctly, paricularly as regards goods elerks and salesmen, whose in- creass of pay has no kept pace with that of mechanics. “Generally speaking,” sald he, ‘“whole- sale and retall dry goods men are pald about 2 per cent more today than forty years ago, whereas carpenters, painters, plumbers, bricklayers, stonemasons and others get pretty nearly 50 per cent more. Bupposing they have steady work, the lat- ter are the class of the community least of all affected by the higher cost of living, the price of their work having kept pace with the advanced price of food and higher rents. “This is one reason why 80 few promis- ing young men now want to learn the dry &00ds business, which more and more every | year is passing into the hands of women.

It 1s popularly Delieved that women In love are less cau- tious about rushing Into marriage than men, but this certainly does not apply to the fairly well educated New York girl who Is reasonably certain that if necessary she can support herself. Nowadays it is rather the young man in love who is inciined to rush into matri- mony without thlnking too hard about s and means. For one thing he is less informed as a rule concerning household expenses and consequently more optimistic about the elasticity of a small income than a girl is.
